Paladins (either 聖騎士 [seikishi] ('holy knight'), ナイト [knight] or パラディン [paladin] in Japanese) are a staple job of the series, protectors of the weak and users of holy powers. They are clad in armor (often white armor) and wield swords and shields. Unlike most other physical jobs, paladins often have access to some Holy-based spells. There is another similar job, the Knight, and in fact many appearances of the job 'Paladin' are actually 'Knight' in Japanese. The Knight job's details are divided between this and Knight's page by what translation was used in the games the job appeared in.
Some examples of paladins are Cecil Harvey from FF4, Curilla V Mecru from FF11 and Solkzagyl from FF14.
